PREOPERATIVE PREPARATION
PREOPERATIVE PREPARATION
Prior to the patient arriving for surgery, they should follow several instructions. Both chronic heavy consumption of alcohol and acute intoxication prolong bleeding time and impair platelet function. Patients should be instructed to refrain from alcohol for 24 hours pre- as well as postoperatively. Vitamin E inhibits platelet aggregation, as do some herbal remedies such as garlic. These should be stopped 7 to 10 days preoperatively. If the patient has a tight scalp and they are having strip excision, they
should perform scalp massage at least 1 month preoperatively to increase laxity. On the day of surgery, have the patient wear comfortable clothing as well as a shirt that does not need to be pulled over their head as this could dislodge grafts in the recipient area. At the consultation, any scalp conditions should be assessed and treated where necessary, such as psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. A second preoperative evaluation of an underlying scalp condition may be required in some cases.
